Project on the formation of mathematical concepts in the senior group Mathematics everywhere, mathematics everywhere

Educational project “Entertaining mathematics”

Mathematics is one of the most difficult subjects in the school cycle, therefore, for a child to successfully study at school already in kindergarten, it is necessary to promote the mathematical development of a preschooler, expand his mathematical horizons, and improve the quality of mathematical preparation for school. This will allow children to more confidently navigate the simplest patterns of the reality around them and actively use mathematical knowledge in everyday life.

Mathematical concepts should be mastered by a preschooler consistently, evenly and systematically. For this purpose, it is necessary to organize educational activities, carried out both in the process of organizing various types of activities (game, communicative, labor, cognitive-research, productive, musical and artistic, reading fiction), and during routine moments; as well as independent activities of children using a variety of gaming tools. Also, children’s mathematical development will be more effective when interacting with children’s families.

Didactic games and game exercises using visual material (with the help of diagrams, cards, models, objects) arouse children’s interest, facilitate and speed up the memorization process, form techniques for working with memory and thinking, which in a visual and accessible form help children remember complex material .

Mathematical material is made more interesting by the game elements contained in each problem, logical exercise, and entertainment, be it checkers or the most basic puzzle. The inclusion of entertaining material in educational activities for FEMP allows children to maintain interest in the lesson, and this creates conditions for increasing the emotional attitude to the content of educational material, ensuring its accessibility and awareness. The mathematical techniques used, the combination of practical and game activities, solving problem-game and search situations contribute to the development of elementary mathematical concepts in children.

To teach preschool children to love mathematics, maintain interest in intellectual activity, and encourage them to solve search problems, it is necessary to approach the organization of the learning process creatively and with interest, to use the variety and variability of educational games with mathematical content.

Type of project : educational - gaming.

Implementation period: short-term (1 month).

Participants: group (teacher, older children, parents).

The goal of the project: the formation of elementary mathematical concepts in children of senior preschool age through entertaining material in the organized and independent activities of children.

Tasks:

To create conditions for preschoolers to master mathematical concepts, to ensure the successful development of children’s abilities and thinking.
To promote the development of the ability to count within 10 forwards and backwards, to correctly use ordinal and cardinal numbers.
To help consolidate the ability to recognize and name geometric shapes.
To help improve the ability to identify collections of objects or figures that have a common property.
Promote the development of mental operations: logical thinking, ingenuity, visual memory, imagination, ability to compare and analyze.
To promote the development of interest in games that require mental stress and intellectual effort.
To promote independence, the ability to understand a learning task and carry it out independently.
To help improve the level of readiness of older preschool children for school.
Encourage parents to participate in the project and work with their children at home.

Expected results:

Progress of the project.

Work on the project took place in several stages. At the preparatory stage, a plan was drawn up for the implementation of the main stage of the project, methodological and fiction literature, illustrative material, computer presentations “Flight to Planet Mathematics”, “Funny Figures”, didactic games, physical education lessons, and finger gymnastics were selected. Educational games with mathematical content were produced.

Parents were involved in preparing the implementation of the project: a survey was conducted with them, and a folder was prepared for them - the “Mathematics for Preschoolers” folder. Parents also provided assistance in making educational games in mathematics. Parents were given the task: to select entertaining mathematical material (problems, riddles, puzzles, puzzles) and arrange it colorfully.

At the main stage of the project, many activities were related to the theme of the project. During classes on speech development and reading fiction, my children and I:

- read mathematical stories and fairy tales with mathematical content: “Three Bears”, “Two Little Bears”, “Twelve Months” by S. Marshak, “Flower - Seven Flowers” by V. Kataev; story by K. Ushinsky “Four Desires”;

- memorized poems about numbers, counting rhymes, and mathematical riddles.

During art classes, children created drawings using geometric shapes and made “magic” numbers from peas and plasticine.

During mathematics classes and during free activities, children worked with mathematical copybooks - coloring books, and made buildings from construction sets, mosaics, and Gyenish blocks. The children also worked with counting sticks: they assembled figures according to the pattern and design. The kids really enjoyed drawing geometric shapes on semolina.

We played a lot of homemade didactic games with mathematical content:

"Tic Tac Toe." Objectives: to promote the development of attention, memory, the ability to focus on a specific subject for a long time, to promote the development of the ability to distinguish between concepts such as “diagonally”, “vertically”, “horizontally”.
"Mathematical Lotto" Objectives: to promote the assimilation of the order of numbers from 1 to 9; consolidation of knowledge about geometric shapes.
"Ladybugs and daisies." Goal: developing the ability to compare, contrast numbers and numbers, arrange them in direct and reverse order.
"Labyrinths". Objectives: to promote the development of logical and spatial thinking, versatility, the ability to achieve goals, to promote the development of perseverance and patience.
“What numbers are missing?” Goal: developing the ability to determine the place of a particular number in a series and its relationship to the previous and subsequent numbers.
"Math Houses" Goal: developing knowledge about the composition of a number from two smaller ones.
Puzzle "Tangram". Goal: to develop children’s ability to analyze images, identify geometric shapes in them, break an entire object into parts, and vice versa - to compose a given model from elements.
“Mathematical tablet “Geometric”. Goal: formation of the ability to create images, development of imaginative thinking, con. Goal: development of counting skills and consolidation of number composition.
"Ladybugs" simulator. Goal: developing the ability to navigate on a playing field with cells, move a ladybug in the indicated direction, determine the spatial arrangement of objects: “above”, “below”, “right - left”, “left - right”.
"Funny numbers." Goal: developing the ability to lay out numbers from various available materials, developing fine motor skills.

We solved comic problems, puzzles, and guessed mathematical riddles. In this work we used baby books made by parents. Together with the children, we learned and mastered new outdoor games, physical education exercises and finger exercises with mathematical content.

At the final stage of the project, the following were created: an entertaining mathematics corner, an exhibition of joint creative works of parents and children. A math quiz called “Smart Men and Women” was also held. The project materials were processed and designed, and a presentation was created.

Project results.

The project offers a system of working with children and parents to introduce educational games with mathematical content into the educational process in order to develop logical thinking and creative abilities in children of senior preschool age. The formation of mathematical concepts and elements of logical thinking requires constant, systematic and systematic work, both in joint activities of an adult and a child, and in independent activities. Educational games with a mathematical focus promote successful learning of the basics of mathematics, the formation of mathematical thinking, stimulate the development of creative imagination, and foster perseverance, will, perseverance, and determination.
